That's More Like It

Waited a little later today to head out the door, and it paid off. Seems like every day this week it's been overcast until I leave work, at which point the sun breaks out and starts baking the ground, releasing all the humidity into the air. Ugh. I left the house about 6:45 tonight and the evening was much milder than the two sessions earlier this week. I ran a mile warm-up, then 5 miles at "marathon pace", and then a little over a mile cooldown for just over 7 miles total. The "marathon pace" wasn't quite as fast as I would have liked. I feel like I'm in recovery from Monday and Tuesday's runs. Even though the temperature was in the upper 70's, there was stiff wind from the north. The recover part of the run felt like I was going in slow motion. No complaints here, though. I'll take that over 100 degree heat index any day.
